When I worked at Starbucks, I simply could not understand the popularity of this stuff. The iced green tea is made with their Zen tea, which I was never a fan of … the kind of mint they blended with the tea leaves always turned my stomach a little and made it taste cheap. The way it’s brewed doesn’t help … the water is too hot and they brew it extra strong, letting it sit on the counter and diluting it when someone orders it. For lack of better ways to say it, this is not my cup of tea.
